Is this a cockerel?

[CalliBee]

Hello, can you guys tell me what gender and breed this 10 week old chick is? It’s waddle and comb looks different and more red than the other 2 of the same kind
Thanks!

I am iffy on this subject and each hatchery has there own standards and names. But from what I know they are similar breeds but different.

Cinnamon queen pullet.

They can, it is a hatchery mix. One of the breeds going into it is wyandotte, so it is common for them to have rose combs.

Bingo. It appears different hatcheries are labeling different Red Sexlink mixes as Cinnamon Queens which is confusing. This bird however is a Silver Laced Wyandotte x Rhode Island Red which is the Cinnamon Queen mix used by at least Hoover. The other birds shown in the thread are Red Sexlinks and perhaps another hatchery's mix that they are also calling a Cinnamon Queen, just without any Wyandotte. Regardless, this bird is still a sexlink and a pullet. Males would be a white-ish color similar to more common sexlink mixes. Hope this clears up some of the questions I'm seeing!

This is a tricky one... It could be a slow developing cockerel, but so far, I’d say it’s a pullet. Update in 2-4 weeks.

Do Cinnamon Queens have rosecombs? I don’t doubt you, I just don’t know much about the breed.

 

[CalliBee]

wait I thought cinnamon queens were brown and white? Bc I have a few of brown and white chicks that I’ve been saying are cinnamon queens

Here they are pictured, the ones I thought were cinnamon queens. Any idea what these are?

 

[Bigtom Turkey]

Those are red sexlinks or isa browns.

 

[Bigtom Turkey]

Yup.
